Non resident state return

I own rental property in NC and am a resident of GA.  Each year, TT Deluxe (CD) completes my GA return before I purchase and download the NC return.  Yes, I answer the question that I do owe taxes to NC on the Personal Info section.   Just noticed that several posts indicate to complete the non-resident state first - if that is accurate, why does my TT automatically complete GA first? It's done that for several years and just became aware from posts that non-resident return should be prepared first.

 

Guidance please?  Thanks!
